The grumpy thread

That dog's face will actually give me nightmares tonight, I swear.

 

 

Wouldn't have done under Thatcher, mind.

Fecking politics - voting - blah ....

Rather like asking, 'your going to get shafted regally up the winkle.. '

Sat in hospital after getting a call from my dad saying grandad took a turn for worse and been rushed in. Old boy not too well. He will be 84 in 3 days but I'm not holding much hope he will see it.

It's been a mild winter, yet the roads are still being gritted. But we haven't had a ground frost since early February.

 

FFS! They're still gritting around here  OK, so they haven't done any since early April, until this morning going to work and the roads are thick with it. Maybe trying to use up their stockpiles?

[Bobthebeard]

The amount of politics in various threads - some of which started out as a politics thread, some if which actually had shite content to begin with.

We don't all want to have the discussion, and it seems like breathing is an excuse for snide comments about one party or another. I don't even know who currently runs the country ffs, but I do want to see pictures of shite cars.

I thought it was accepted that on the main forum, only the grump and grin threads were meant to be non-shite. I feel a cunt reporting the threads (feels a bit like telling tales) but meh.

It is a web forum, on the internet.... No matter what the actual topic or subject it will end up as a debate or argument over politics. Enjoy the lively debate! It is inevitable. Bit like going down the pub with a few mates.

[Pillock]

Mates don't let mates talk about politics

[Bobthebeard]

Mates don't let mates talk about politics

Mates can try to stop mates talking about politics/cats/vauxhalls/audis/new cars etc, but will probably fail.... Tis the way of the world to talk and moan. Lol

[Timewaster]

Sadly I have blanked a good mate for the last few weeks because he seems determined that everyone should vote for someone I think is a hopeless bell end.

 

After the election, I'm sure we will pick up where we left off.

[Pillock]

Twats, like proper weapons-grade UBERTWATS, who take their whole fucking weekly shopping to the self-checkouts in the supermarket. Who then moan and whinge when it keeps telling them off for moving stuff off the bagging area because they've filled it, even though it's obvious that it's weighing stuff to make sure you're not nicking it. Fuck off down to the checkouts with the human people working them, and let me with my pork pie and a bottle of orange juice get out of there before someone has a pork-pie based blunt object trauma.

If I am driving at 90kph on the open road and you are falling away behind me, doing 80 or so, and we come into a village and I do something outrageous like adhere to the 50kph speed limit and you dont, ripping through at 70 or 80, catching up with me and overtaking me on the way out of the village, what do you think is going to happen when we resume our original speeds? And dont you dare get the fucking hump when I overtake you, ya fucking spunk-lolly.

 

This kind of shit happens so often its infuriating .Also, I live in a wee hamlet on a main road and the amount of bell-ends that razz through at 90+ every single day is incredible. Why are people in such a hurry?

They want to be on time for their funerals.

[beko1987]

I hate that too!

 

Coming home from work there's a lovely few miles of nsl that I happily do 80 down. However it then comes into a village, and 80 in an nsl is something I'll risk, 80 in a 30 he'll no. I just lift off when I see the 30 sign in the distance, and normal trundle in at 40/35.

 

Mr audi who I left for dead 5 miles ago because he was too busy dicking about with his phone or shat nav is at mach 10 and looks annoyed when he comes across me doing 30...

 

Then we repeat as we go back into an nsl... Ive had them overtake me before at this point then I go up their arse as they slam on the brakes (but don't change gear) around a sharp bend further up, then take ages to get back to speed. I've changed down to 4th prior and without braking enter the corner then power out on the turbo, then back into 5th...

 

Tis great fun! I don't take the pics though, don't want to be responsible for making someone who doesn't know the road enter the 90 degree left hander at over 25mph as they will be off the road

[Cavcraft]

This election malarkey. I know who I'm going to vote for, nothing is going to change that, and all the shit in the media is boring the arse off me. Just get it over with, asap.

1994 Toyota Corolla pulls out in front of me without looking, I slow down.  And slow down... and slow down until we're doing 15mph in a 30mph zone.  I get so pissed off I overtake them and then the traffic light ahead is red as I pull up to it.  Corolla has vanished, nowhere to be seen.  Then the dashboard starts jingling again.  I did have a look under the bonnet and found pressing on one plastic pipe makes the jingling stop, but there's nothing I can find attached to the pipe that could be jingling so I have no idea wtf that's about.  It's the sort of jingling that once you notice it you can't stop noticing it and that's really annoying.

 

Maybe there's 20p stuck in the handbrake mechanism.

All Audi drivers are wankaz.

 

And Civic Type Rs...Mark 4 Golfs...Mitos...etc.

 

I just slow down even more if one of these twatz is behind me,

Early morning phone call at half 5 to say my grandad took a turn or worse and dropping fast. Jump in car and head to hospital. Just coming off of junction 28 onto a38 and get a dickhead in a merc undertakeing folk then brake checks me in outside lane at 80mph. Good move dickwad. Like I need your shit today.

[Inspector Morose]

Banks. That is all.

[fordperv]

That is the truth, I was trying to get into a left hand lane on a dual carriageway in good time so I could use the correct lane on a roundabout, there was space for me to get in i indicated and the audi wanker accelerated to block me out, so when we both got to the roundabout i looked at the driver gave a universal salute then out accelerated him to get where I needed to go.

Must be the day for it. I went out in the Victor this morning, towing the newly-repaired ex-Des trailer loaded with rubbish for the tip. Coming around a sweeping left hand bend, I was met by some absolute moron in a tipper truck on the wrong side of the road, overtaking an old giffer in a Jazz. Slammed on my brakes and just managed to avoid a head on collision, or more likely, putting the Victor into the hedge/field to try to avoid him. Fortunately I was only doing 40-45 or so, if I'd been doing 60 I don't think I could have avoided him.

Perhaps the Corolla couldn't stop in time and hit you at the red light, crumbled into rusty flakes due to the impact, then, given the momentum went up your exhaust pipe and somehow ended up in the air vents behind the dashboard causing a jingling noise? Turn the blower fan onto 'high' and see if any Toyota flakes come out.

This was discussed on the Jeremy Vine show earlier. Apparently he later discovered that they didn't even do the complete service on his car either. Halfords are shit.

'Discussed' on the Jeremy Vine show? Doubt it was much of a discussion. Radio Daily Mail. Bah.

Suppose it's not really a grump 'cos I had a nice time, but fun has got expensive. Took a friend to the cinema & Mc. D's. Ended up costing the wrong side of £60.

 

I must be an old fart, cos I can remember going to cinema, pint before hand, fish n chips on way home and having change out of a tenner.
